CAMPGROUNDS

We have our own private camp area, only for WWE Guests, right on the banks of the South Fork of the American river. Our facilities include: bathrooms with hot showers, flush toilets, sinks and mirrors, recreation areas with volleyball, horseshoe pits, and ping pong. All of our camp areas are group areas that are assigned prior to your arriving. Smaller sized groups could be sharing an area with another smaller sized group.

WEATHER INFO

The Coloma-Lotus Valley is at a surprisingly low elevation, about 750 feet above sea level. Even that slight elevation, however, is enough to protect the valley from the dreary tule fog that plagues the Central Valley. Winters can be delightful, characterized by winter rains, frosty mornings and localized river mists that dissipate as the sun rises. Snow is rare, although occasionally a dusting of snow adds white to the surrounding hills.
